I just think that if we blow out of proportion every mistake everyone makes we may as well start living in isolation in the woods. I think Proton did a lots of good and still does and they deserve benefit of the doubt. All the dramas are imo just a mistakes or misunderstandings echo-chambered by internet to death (and intentionally fed by competition as well). When you take a moment and look at the pure facts reasonably you will probably come to the same conclusion.
It looks like it might be vibe coded, atleast thr detailed claude.md file suggests that. It even includes “no Co-Authored-By” clause, which would suggest the author tries to hide how much is actually generated. Personally I wouldnt trust it unless it is audited by someone or by myself - which I wouldn’t do with a ton of generated code…
Also a side question: are you still using Proton? I thought you said, and I quote, “never again” when there was the last hysteria…
Yeah that name would suck 😀 As I wrote in previous answer, I really like Plutonium just like that.
Aha, I get it. And I like that its kinda nerdy. I dont think majority of the people will get it though. Just Plutonium would be fine, sounds actually real good and I think searching for plutonium os should be distinct enough (given the fact plutonium is not an element of everyday life). However if you still insist on the shorthand, what I saw people do, have a paragraph explaining what the shortcut means and how to call the os. Something like “the p-239 stands for plutonium and that is what we call the os - Plutonium” or variant of that. Maybe have it on the homepage even as a part of some baner or simly as second or third element under header. And it can also link to the full story (that it was a codename at first…)
Why the name? I find distros with these names that are hard to say annoying to speak about, so I would suggest better name. Something short, catchy and easy to say for people with different languages. But don’t make it too general either so that it is also easy to search for.
The minimums btw doesn’t apply if you registered through the trueNAS partnership
Me too. Have the plan from trueNAS partnership and pay less than 5 bucks a month
In current climate? I’d say almost the opposite, get 16 gigz of RAM and only add more if you really need it or if it gets cheaper. You can add ram any time, it’s the beauty of a desktop pc builds.
I know what you meant but its kinda funny to say “I want to mess with an immutable distro” 😀
